Belgian artist Ben Heine blends photography and pencil sketches to create imaginary scenes. He explains: “I find a location, do a drawing, then take a photo to combine with the drawing.” Ben’s subjects include imaginary effects combined with animals and architecture, and sometimes people. “I like to stretch people’s imaginations. A monkey on the Underground, why not?”

Ben, who studied journalism but now works as a full time artist in Brussels, has nearly reached his goal of finishing 100 pieces. He has used locations in London, Spain, Tunisia, and Belgium for his work.

He says: “I started the series mixing drawing and photography in 2010 and it’s almost reaching an end. A few months ago, I started adding colours in my sketches – previously they had all been black and white.”
